Chapter 144: Chapter 144 I Will Feel Heartache

Shen Yanhe was barely over twenty years old.

Struggling alone for so many years, she had only become a bit stronger, not invincible.

She would feel sad, worried, and stressed.

In the past, she endured hardships without anyone to confide in, but now, being held gently in someone’s embrace and comforted so tenderly...

She could no longer control her emotions.

Once the floodgates of her tears opened, they couldn’t be stopped.

Yet, she didn’t even dare to cry out loud; she bit her lip tightly, holding back the sobs that threatened to escape.

Feeling the dampness on his shoulder and hearing the girl’s choked and helpless words...

Fu Yanhe’s eyes darkened further; he tightened his arms around her resilient waist, silently turned his head, and kissed her hair.

His voice was deep and steady, filled with a strong sense of security, "I’m here."

Shen Yanhe’s tears fell even more.

Clinging tightly to Fu Yanhe’s clothes like an insecure child, she burrowed into his embrace, her body trembling slightly.

It was the first time Fu Yanhe saw her so vulnerable; it pained his heart nearly to numbness as he held her even tighter.

Half a minute later.

The girl had not stopped crying.

Fu Yanhe sighed, pushed her slightly away, cupped her tear-streaked red cheeks in his hands, and looked at her reddish eye corners blurred by tears that clung to her long eyelashes.

His heart ached.

He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice soft and gentle, "Don’t cry, my dear Yanhe, I’ll help you."

Fu Yanhe’s long, warm fingertips gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I’ll find a way to save Xiao Huai; please don’t cry, okay?"

"Seeing you cry hurts me a lot."

Shen Yanhe looked at him with misty eyes, listening to his gentle reassurances, slowly steadying her emotions.

Only after calming down did she belatedly realize what she had just done and what Fu Yanhe had just said.

Her face turned even redder in an instant.

She didn’t dare to look at Fu Yanhe again, nor did she dare to ask him the meaning of his words just now.

Like an ostrich, she broke free from his hands and buried her face in his chest, unwilling to face anyone.

How embarrassing.

Too embarrassing.

To be comforted by Fu Yanhe like that, losing control and crying in front of him, and crying so miserably.

But it must be said that hugs and crying are the best medicine; after such a cry, Shen Yanhe felt less suppressed in her heart.

Fu Yanhe indulged her, holding her even tighter.

The two embraced each other in the corridor, leaning on each other, extremely close and intimate; the air seemed to swirl with a sweet flavour.

But this scene, as seen by Xia Ran hidden in the staircase not far away...

Was like a poisoned dagger, viciously stabbing into her heart.

Xia Ran, out of jealousy, watched the two embracing intimately, her eyes red, her sharp fingers digging into the soft flesh of her palms, drawing blood.

Fu Yu had said something to her today that she didn’t believe.

But now, seeing Fu Yanhe holding Shen Yanhe so cautiously, as if guarding a rare treasure...

She believed it.

Fu Yanhe truly had no place for her in his heart anymore.

Because the former Fu Yanhe used to treat her with the same gesture, but now, this protective gesture belonged to another woman.

Now, she could only lurk in a dark corner like a maggot, secretly spying on pieces of happiness that once belonged to her, gradually being taken by someone else.

This feeling set Xia Ran ablaze with jealousy, making life unbearable.

She was jealous of Shen Yanhe. She wanted Shen Yanhe dead!

Holding Shen Yanhe, Fu Yanhe seemed to sense something, subtly lifting his gaze, his pupils cold as he looked in her direction.

Xia Ran’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ducked away to hide.

Fearing that Fu Yanhe had noticed, she didn’t dare stay longer and turned to rush down the stairs.

As she left the hospital, Xia Ran kept fearfully looking back, afraid that Fu Yanhe had spotted her and would send someone to capture her.

She wasn’t paying attention and bumped into someone.

"Ouch!" The person staggered from her bump, almost falling, and scolded furiously.

"Are those two eyes just for show? Didn’t you see someone coming? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

Xia Ran’s eyes cooled slightly as she adjusted the skewed sun hat, turning her head with annoyance, "You..."

When she saw the person, she had bumped, her expression slightly paused, a hint of difficulty flashed in her eyes, she restrained her emotions, raising her eyebrows as if surprised, "Are you Shen Yingying’s mother, Gan Danxue?"

Gan Danxue, still displeased, was patting the dirt off her clothes from the collision, heard this and frowned at her: "You know me? Who are you?"

"Hello, Mrs. Shen." Xia Ran casually extended her hand to Gan Danxue: "I am Xia Ran, I met your daughter at a banquet before, and we are friends."

Upon hearing the name Xia Ran, Gan Danxue’s eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly reached out to shake hands, "Miss Xia, nice to meet you."

Gan Danxue was both excited and thrilled inside.

She hadn’t expected that Yingying really was friends with Miss Xia from the Xia family!

Could Yingying really be saved then?

"Mrs. Shen, are you ill? Why come to the hospital?" Xia Ran probed.

Hearing this, uncontrollable resentment appeared on Gan Danxue’s face, and she tightened her grip on her purse, "No."

Gan Danxue came to the hospital today to play the emotional card with Ye Min.

That despicable Shen Yanhe wouldn’t let Yingying go. Ye Min certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch her own granddaughter go to jail.

If Ye Min pleaded with Shen Yanhe, surely Shen Yanhe would spare Yingying.

But now, maybe it wasn’t necessary.

She calmed herself down, her brows tightly furrowed, very reluctantly began, "I came to find my niece, Shen Yanhe. Miss Xia, you don’t know, my niece is too cruel."

"Her cousin committed just a minor mistake, and she wants to ruin her completely!"

"As her mother, I am helpless, unable to save my daughter, I can only come to beg her to show mercy and give my daughter one more chance, but unfortunately, last time she refused me, and now I am risking my pride to beg her once more."

"Miss Xia." Gan Danxue looked at Xia Ran with a face full of hope, "You and my daughter are good friends, can’t you help me, help me save my daughter?"

"I’ve heard about Yingying’s situation, Auntie, I am very sorry, but I can’t help you," Xia Ran said, pretending to be regretful, her eyes flickering.

"However, I could give you a suggestion."

Gan Danxue, initially disappointed, perked up when she heard there was a suggestion, "What suggestion?"

"Your niece, Shen Yanhe, is now the darling of the elder young master of the Fu family; she is extremely important to Fu Yanhe now."

"Suppose you kidnapped Shen Yanhe and used her to threaten the elder young master of the Fu family to release Shen Yingying; perhaps, Shen Yingying could escape."

"Kidnapping?"

Gan Danxue’s expression changed. She looked around nervously, ensuring no one noticed them, then lowered her voice, "Isn’t that illegal?"

"Auntie, don’t be nervous, I’m just proposing a hypothetical situation," Xia Ran said with a slight smile, implying more.

"Besides, you and Shen Yanhe are relatives, and it’s quite normal for relatives to interact, isn’t it?"

Gan Danxue’s eyes flickered as if she had thought of something.

Xia Ran’s lips secretly curled into a smile, not lingering any longer, she politely bid farewell to Gan Danxue and moved past her to leave.

After she departed, Gan Danxue stood in place, her grip on her bag tightening more and more, her expression shifting.

Eventually, her face became calmer, as if she had made up her mind.

Gan Danxue stared at the hospital in front of her, her eyes flickering with a sinister light.

Shen Yanhe, don’t blame me. You brought this on yourself!
